Share-Based Compensation Expense

As disclosed in Note 1, prior to January 2, 2006 the Company accounted for stock options and other share-based compensation in accordance with the intrinsic value method and, accordingly, did not recognize any compensation expense for those stock options granted at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the respective dates of grant. Upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R) effective January 2, 2006, the Company began accounting for share-based compensation based on the fair value of the awards at the date of grant rather than the intrinsic value. See Note 1 for disclosure of the effect of adopting SFAS 123(R) on certain amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and cash flows in 2006 and the pro forma effects on net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share for 2004 and 2005 as if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123.

Total share-based compensation expense and related income tax benefit and minority interests recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations were as follows (in thousands):
